Getting ready for the summer season and it's always good to have some backup grips heh.

A few new things over the last weeks..

 

Upgrade from my Odroid N2 to the Nvidia Shield Pro

 

Got some new headphones, Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro, turned out I also needed an amp to go with them so bought a Schiit Magni 3+

 

And last the start for my new Proxmox Server, it was on sale for €99 so had to buy one.

This isn't the most 'recent' but it does come with a heck of a story.  On my commpute to work, in the before times when I went 'to work' instead of 'logged in from home', I'd transfer near this small computer shop but never went in, finally after a couple of years one evening I decided go for it.  Turns out to be a mom & pop computer store and also it was closing that week.  Anything that was not sold was eWaste.  I spotted the box for the Asus P9X79 LE board on the shelf and asked 'Does that have a motherboard in it or is it just the box?'  'It's in there, it's new.  Fourty dollars, if you pay cash, no tax'.  I had cash.

 

Upon inspect it seemed fairly new but the socket cover had been removed.  Thankfully all the pins were fine.  This is a name brand X79 motherboard for $40 flat, Xeon's are cheap, it's the cost of motherboards that ruins the deal.

 

However some people might be sad, because this board is in fact running an E5-2603v2 I got off eBay.  That is a quad core Xeon, with no hyper threading, no turbo, and it runs at 1.8ghz.  It is the worst Ivy Bridge Xeon ever made.  But it did only cost me $11.  That's 40 PCIE lanes, made it the perfect 'low end' CPU for an UnRAID machine that would only do UnRAID and never any VMs or dockers or the like, it only has to calculate parity.  Best yet, I can easily drop in much better processors and leave the platform as is.  An E5 2697v2 would turn it into a 12 core affordable monster for server tasks.

Got my AirTags today! Put this one on the strap of a backpack. Kinda wish the Apple Watch had a quick “ping keys/item” button in the control center, not unlike how it can quickly ping your iPhone.

 

 

My 5950x arrives tomorrow!

My most recent acquisition.

After many years without having speakers for my PC. I got these: 

 

 

[D13H4RD]

This week has been a bit of a frenzy when it comes to new stuff, which includes;

 

• A laptop stand that's actually pretty cheap but ultimately, I found not very good for typing since my palms keep touching the base of the stand.
• The Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR. I've been wanting an ultrawide zoom for the Fujifilm X-T3 for a really long time, and when I saw that the venerable 10-24 f/4 R OIS was updated with weather-resistance, improved OIS, a slightly lighter build and a marked aperture ring, I got it not long after my local store has them. It's no 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR in terms of optics, but especially with this golden copy, "happiness noises" is underestimating how chuffed I am with it.
• A ThinkTank camera battery holder, capable of holding 4 batteries. Anyone with Fuji cameras powered by the NP-W126/S (or Sony cameras powered by the smaller FW50) knows how fast these beasts chew through their powerpacks. The battery holder gives me something to help keep them organized instead of just lumping them inside plastic bags.

Because texas has a split personality, likes to turn off our electricity grid and it hits 100 and hell Fahrenheit in the summertime.

I bought a apple :>

[CerealExperimentsLain]

I finally caved and ordered this guy.  It's for my pfSense box which is currently running Sandy Bridge, so this should be about the same performance for maybe 35% of the wattage.  Downside is that's electrically an x2 PCIE slot so it'll only push 1000MB/s but I think that by the time I have internet that is faster than 500MB/s (Assuming half the bandwidth to get into the board on WAN, half the bandwidth to get out on LAN) it will be like 2026.

 

But hey, look, an LPT port!  Oooo!

 

I should plug my RTX 3080 into it before I rebuild the pfSense box...

Are they any good? I've been wanting a new set of speakers for my PC currently still rocking my Logitech Z4's from 2006.. Which honestly are pretty good. But wouldn't mind upgrading.

I'd say they're good and the bass is quite strong. Not bad for £60.
